SilverSoop Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes I think so, just not sure what to go for. I had BC coilovers from Whifbitz last time which were good Look forward to seeing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Biased on bronze though I just need to sort out the tractor ride height now! How do you find your HSD's? I went for the BC Racing coilovers on my last Supra but I fancy a change with this one. & bronze wheels ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Can't moan at the hsds but I have the monopros with pillowball upper mounts. Can't comment on the newer ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I received my pictures through today from the Japanese Performance Magazine featured Dynodaze meet back in November. Thought I'd post my favourite picture up here . Obviously as this is from November it was before the new wheels, exhaust etc. were fitted.

Rich.2211 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just had a play with Photoshop seen as I had a day off work, think a Wings West style front lip is definitely on the cards end of this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kniff_666 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If you can get it sitting like that on the new coilovers then it will look brutally good. Personally i would not go for the lip as i prefer the stock look. The only thing i would do to the exterior now would be a TRD spoiler (i have a soft spot for them) If you lower it to there i think you could have a problem with the lip anyway (this is going by the photoshop?!) As ever the car looks amazing! Top thread ... keep the updates coming and i look forward to the NA-T build progression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You probably won't be able to drive it that low. Looks crazy though, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ever the car looks amazing! Top thread ... keep the updates coming and i look forward to the NA-T build progression I'm torn between a Wings West style lip or an active spoiler lip As for ride height, I'll just have to adjust the height to suit the lip, I certainly won't be going near any speed bumps either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be aiming for the same ride height as that, just with a front splitter. Lucky I don't have to go over any speed bumps to get to work! **For reference - the front wheel specs in the above pic are 9.5J ET30, had a few people ask who are looking at purchasing Rota's Edited January 22, 2013 by Rich.2211 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 any updates pal? Yes mate, bought a new steering wheel today. Did pick up a boss as well but it didn't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 As the weather was so good last Saturday, me and a few friends decided to make the most of it and go for a trip up to Demon Tweeks in Wrexham. It would of been rude not to come back with at least a small purchase so opted for a OMP Corsica steering wheel (apparently a ltd. edition version but I'm not sure). This version of the Corsica is leather with red stitching a red leather top band. Also had to purchase a HKB boss from Driftworks to fit it, which I can hugely recommend. It was pretty much plug and play except for running a wire to earth the horn, I earthed it to the main large center nut that holds the steering wheel boss on and it works perfectly! Managed to pick up 5 litres of carpet dye today as well, so black carpets are imminent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great updates, I love the stance of your old yellow car It's a really nice wheel to drive with, just have to make a conscious effort to reach the indicators as I have small hands lol! Suits me great though, only slightly smaller than stock diameter and feels spot on! The Yellow one was just so low, thinking about it I could never go that low again lol! I'm actually considering some decent lowering springs as it doesn't sit all that high now I suppose and I already have yellow Bilsteins. Paul Whiffin has offered me a great price on adjustable coilovers though so I'll mull it over for a few days. I really need to shift some time/money into the NA-T build but I just want a few more little cosmetic parts sorted for Fast Show and then after that I'll pull the engine out. Reminds me, I've also sorted an engine stand out today in preparation Edited February 7, 2013 by Rich.2211 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 That looks awesome in those photos, the offset on the wheels is spot on, I love the MVP lip on the smooth stock body, looks superb on black cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
